As the ancient myth makers knew, we are children equally of the earth and the sky. National boundaries are not evident when we view the Earth from space. Fanatical ethnic or religious or national chauvinisms are a little difficult to maintain when we see our planet as a fragile blue crescent fading to become an inconspicuous point of light against the bastion and citadel of the stars. – Carl Sagan
Naturally we are big fans of Space in the terrestrial sense. But at We Love HQ in Ibiza, there’s nothing we enjoy more than an inter-stellar thought experiment over lunch on a Saturday after our weekly meeting, generally led by Big L and Ben Korbel. Here’s a collection of photos and videos inspired by those conversations. For more on the subject of human space exploration, check this.
Photos are from various sources including From Moon 2 Moon, Cornell, Making of a Movie, NPR, Hasselblad, Tomorrow’s Thoughts Today and of course NASA.
It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small. – Neil Armstrong
